About the Book:

Whether they're dashing, splashing, munching, or crunching, baby animals are ever-exploring! At home in their natural habitats, baby animals learn about the world that surrounds them. When the fun is done, it's time for baby animals to go to sleep. After all, every baby animal has to rest.

Full of action, sound effects, and patterned text, each story features the adorable antics and accurate behavior of six wild animal babies: tiger, elephant, giraffe, rhinoceros, panda, and gorilla. This 64-page, beautifully designed story book is perfect for bedtime.

My Thoughts:

My oldest daughter has five children, ages 10-1 year, and bedtime has it's own special routine.  But getting little ones to settle down for sleep can be difficult, if not impossible at times.  So I'm thrilled to offer you an adorable story collection that will arrive in time for Christmas and make next year's bedtimes more fun.

"Good Night Baby Animals" is a collection of six original stories about different animals parents and their babies.  The tiger babies romp, while the baby rhino is brave.  Each story is brief, and the words are just enough on each page--because your children will be eager to turn the page to see what's next!

My only wish is a table of contents page, which makes it easier for parents to find their child's "read it again!" story.  Other than that, this is an ideal book for families with children of all ages, but especially the little ones.

My thanks to my friends at Henry Holt Publishing for my complimentary copy with no services provided in exchange.

Merry Christmas, and until the next page turns,
